Specification of Letters Patent.

App1ication filed ()ctober 1S, 1909.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, Jason gILKNITTER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Germantown, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Stands; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new article of manufacture comprising a sewing stand and embodies the essential characteristics hereinafter described and claimed.

The object of the invention is to provide a device adapted to conveniently support the various articles usually employed by a seamstress or tailor, so that said articles may not become misplaced or lost.

To this end the device consists of various elements to be hereinafter more specifically described, all of which are assembled in a compact manner in order to carry out the object and purpose of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings which aptly illustrate my invention, Figure l is a vertical elevation of the same with a portion of the base and cushion appearing in section as well as one of the spools of thread. Fig. 2 is a top plan view showing the central postin section. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the upper end of the central post with hooks supported thereon.

The device is provided with a suitable base 1 which may be of any desirable ornamentation and suitable material, to give it suflieient anchorage. Upon the upper side of said base is arranged a cushion 2 which affords convenient means for receiving pins, needles, etc. Extending centrally from an id base and through the cushion, is an upright tubular post 3 of a suitable diameter, to rel l l i l l l l l ceive a number of spools 4: of thread; the thread may be freely unwound from said. spools as necessity requires, owing to thelooseness between said. spools and post. When a. number of spools of thread are solocatcd,tliey rest one upon the other, and the post may be of suliicient length to support a number of spools of thread usuall'v required for the work of a seamstress. lhe upper end of the tubular post is surmounted with an ornamental head 5, on the end of a pin 6, which fits into the end of the post. Extending from said head are a suitable number of hooks 7 upon which may be conveniently hung shears or other articles usually employed by persons who sew. Also extending rroin the base 1 are suitable ntunbcr of short posts 9 surmounted by ornamental heads 10; these posts may be utilized for receiving thimbles 11, one of which is shown in the drawing.

The convenience of the article will readily suggest itself from the accompanying illustration. All of the articles commonly employed in the work of a seamstress or tailor, are kept conveniently at hand for use as re quired. The necessity for looking for these various articles, when needed, is avoided in the use of my improved sewing stand.

Having described my invention, I claim:

The herein described. sewing stand comprising a base with a cushion on the top thereof, an upright post extending centrally from said base and cushion and adapted to support spools of thread placed one above the other and forming a pivot for said spools to turn upon in *ithdrawin g the thread therefrom, and a series of short posts extending from said base and cushion, all arranged substantially as and for the purposes specified.

ln testimony whereof i afliX my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
